Book a Session at the Thai Bodywork Clinic

Thai Massage Sessions for Pain and Stress Relief

The Thai Bodywork Clinic offers a variety of session types, ranging from traditional Thai massage sessions with certifying students to therapeutically focused Clinical Thai Bodywork treatments with apprentice and professional practitioners. Our approach to the treatment of pain is unique and extremely effective, synthesizing the traditional techniques from Thai massage with an in-depth knowledge of western clinical approaches, trigger point therapy, anatomy and asian medicine. We offer the only training program in the world combining a full trigger point therapy education with Thai bodywork certification. Our clinical practitioners have all been trained within this program.

Trigger Point Therapy and Clinical Thai Bodywork

Referral patterns and trigger points in the gluteus minimus

Trigger point therapy emerged from western medicine, and is documented in the 2-volume textbook, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual by Janet Travell, MD & David Simons, MD. Travell & Simons cite studies estimating that over 80% of pain presenting in clinics may be due to muscular causes. Thai Bodywork founder Chuck Duff originated the Clinical Thai Bodywork approach, combining Thai massage and trigger point therapy. We have successfully addressed a huge array of complaints and diagnoses – a partial list includes frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, back pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, rotator cuff issues, and many more. We take a conservative approach, and if we feel that a physician referral is warranted we will do so.
